Right now we put the release of Cordova into the npm package for cordova-cli and we version lock the two. (Codova/CLI 2.5.x === Cordova/Platform 2.5.latest).
We did this because: - has to work offline - cannot have a Git dep to do development - issue tracking locked to the real version of Cordova We can solve all these issues. The code to do that isn't really a huge deal. But to add it we gain very little that isn't already achieved by vendoring. I'd like for us to be aware the current can be improved but its low priority compared to, say, ripple and plugin integration.
